The Nebraska baseball team started the month of August off strong, landing two more recruits in the 2026 class. Both recruits stand as a home-grown Huskers and hail from the same school, Creighton Prep.
Cal Anthony and Charlie Ziola announced their commitments to Nebraska. Anthony made the announcement first before Ziola made the decision on X (formerly Twitter) Friday afternoon.
Cal Anthony stands at 6-feet, 2-inches and 190 pounds. The southpaw played on Creighton Prep’s JV roster in his freshman year before being elevated to the varsity level his sophomore season as a pitcher and outfielder.
In the 2024 varsity season, Anthony finished with a batting average of .406 off 69 at-bats delivering 28 hits, 19 RBIs, three doubles, three home runs and a triple.
Ziola also pitches and plays outfield but plays first base as well. The left-hander also started his freshman year on JV but was brought up to varsity near the end of the season. In the 2023-2024 season, Ziola finished with a .265 batting average off 83 at-bats. He brought in 22 hits, 16 RBIs, six doubles and two triples.
Anthony and Ziola now joins Brody Jindra and Bryce Fountain in Nebraska’s 2026 recruiting class.
